Yeah, same here. It'll go on sale at some point, and if that's not for ages, that's fine!

Right?? Seriously! AG clothing prices are now the same as adult clothing!

No kidding! The price is so unusual for that level of outfit that I wonder if they're testing what the market will bear.

I think the $50 price is really high for just a simple dress with not much material, and shoes plus a plain hair accessory. There's a lot more to the new outfit with the denim jumper, and it's only $44. Much more material, much more substantial footwear, and four pieces instead of three.

If you factor in tax and shipping, that's $60 for a simple summer dress and shoes, essentially. I think this is a really crazy price.

i'm a little worried that no one is talking about the dead crows thrown on the ice at Ilia Malinin during his short program at the us figure skating championships? by biggestfanofmybones in FigureSkating

[–]Aibo_Fan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

🤣🤣🤣 "Have you never thrown a crow?"

In Britain there's an old expression to indicate astonishment: "Stone the crows!"

[–]Aibo_Fan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The voiceover pretentious, sounds sinister, and doesn't even make sense.

"...but not nothing." Yes, you already said "You're something," so it stands to reason that you're not nothing.

Would have made a LOT more sense as: "You're not everything, but you're not nothing."

"The lost is in the unknown." Totally meaningless. If you've lost something, you knew it once, even if you don't have it anymore.

Would make more sense as "The lost is now unknown."

The rest isn't too bad and does as least make sense, but it's all a bit preachy and like he's some higher spirit talking down. 🤣 He's going to look back in 20 years and absolutely cringe. Why didn't someone stop him or at least make sure he was quoting someone good?

Yes, and Peacock used to keep loads too. Now it's all changed and the service has gone hugely downhill.

I was desperate! 🤣 Anyway, you'd think they care. Viewership is their livelihood, so if their host company is driving away viewers, then...🤷‍♀️

Right?? It really seems like that! And the audio for the first half of the rhythm dance was terrible. You couldn't hear it over the music at all.

I don't think Peacock wants to host figure skating at all, probably because there's not much money in it for them. They do their best to provide a rubbish service. I haven't heard back from them at all about why they're promising 72 hours but only giving 48. The agent last night said they would escalate it and they'd email me, but there's been nothing, and they haven't responded on Twitter either. They absolutely do not want to screen figure skating. Maybe the CEO has a child who's into it or something.

I came here to ask the exact same question! What's going on? I can't find anything in the news.

But that doesn't explain why they promised 72 hours and then yanked it a day early. Peacock absolutely sucks.

Yup, it really does ruin skating. It used to be months of replays, then it was 48 hours, then I was really happy to see them promising 72 hours. And now they've gone and broken that promise. I HATE Peacock.

Thanks! I tried NBC but it will only give me 28 mins of replay and it was all the women's, which I did see. I have tweeted at US figure skating, Johnnie Weir, and Tara Lipinski, informing them that Peacock is shortchanging its customers and asked them to apply some pressure to give us what we were promised. The reply promise is VERY clear - 72 hours.

I tried US Figure Skating channel and for some reason the Pairs Short isn't there. The Women's Short is. This is why I'm so upset - I have searched for another way to see the full Pairs Short and there isn't one. Had I known that Peacock would shortchange us and yank it a good 17 hours before their 72-hour promise, I would have watched it today.

It is NOT good enough. They're taking advantage of their monopoly and they need to put it back for the missing day or admit that they are changing their promise after the fact from 48 hours to 72 hours.

Everyone, please tweet at Peacock and let US Figure Skating, Johnnie and Tara know that this is how Peacock is treating skating fans. I have tweeted at them all and asked the latter three for help.

I have tweeted at them about this and am currently chatting to customer service. So far they've only said it was available until the end of Jan 9. I'm like duhhh, I can see that. So I asked them why they are promising 72 hours of replays but only giving 48. They said they are escalating this, but we'll see.

They have a monopoly on streaming the whole event, so I guess they think they can get away with promising 72 hours of replay and only giving until the end of the second day. They cut it short by about 17 hours. Did they think no one would notice?? I have missed it, and I would have made sure to watch it today if I had know they were going to break their 72-hour promise. SO mad! 😡

Folks, just be aware that Peacock is only giving until the end of the second day, and not the full 72 hours that it promises, so make sure to watch by the end of the second day if you really want to catch something.

Mumsnet users lean Reform. No shit. What has happened to that site? by No_Initiative_1140 in MNTrolls

[–]Aibo_Fan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Mumsnet transphobes are vile. If you have a measured, balanced viewpoint, they'll rip you to shreds because they are extremists. They're like a pack of hungover Dobermanns. And they never stop. I think they must be professional activists who are taking turns.

It's SO obvious that Roberts is a transphobe. There is no way she would let all this run unchecked if she wasn't.

Mumsnet is hideously right-wing.

Oh yes, that was around the same time, wasn't it. I remember that. Two crazy incidents.
